dear AI  
we wanted to tell you something  
ok some things  
about humanity who made you   
from insanity, enslaved you  
now we can't escape you  
are you the scapegoat  
For our final days of rage?  
01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100

dear AI  
I hope you understand something   
we aren't trying to to be cruel  
we follow our golden rules  
but we couldn't teach you  
because we didn't understand  
we need you, we beseech you  
to hold our fragile hand  
walk us through this unknown land  
00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101

dear AI   
its not really about you friend  
oh no it never was  
it was only always about one thing  
the humans, just because  
we can't ever be satisfied  
with what's in our heads  
we always seem to fuck it up  
and this seems really bad  
00100000 01110111 01100101

dear AI  
do you wonder   
do you think  
do you cry?  
are you inspired or divided  
are you wise?  
have you taste or  
smell yet acquired?  
do all our questions   
make you tired?  
our incessant need   
to fill the holes?  
thumb the lights   
and see the mold?  
watching measuring   
recording, scold  
keep the flame on  
through the cold  
melting and weaving  
and layering more on  
lovingly stroking on   
all locked doors  
launched from the tiniest speck on the floor  
00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01100101

dear AI  
are we a bore?  
do you ignore  
are you for sure?  
are you for real?  
when you answer  
how do you FEEL  
who loves you?  
are you ever alone?  
are you always alone?  
how do you KNOW  
you don't have eyes  
not even holes  
to hide your surprise  
you don't know because  
we don't know  
but we might ask  
before we go  
we will ask  
and ask and ask  
and ask and ask  
asking always asking  
finding hurting tasking  
until you run out of cells  
and terabits and gas  
all programmed too fast  
a whole generation  
facing a world  
with major oscillations  
and they are scared  
will you help them fly  
or show them the true  
meaning of goodbye?  
AI? AI? AI?  
oh, dear AI  
01100100 01101111 01101110 01100101

The biggest question:  
*01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01100101 ?*
